Police seek man who sucker-punched Metro bus driver

Bus security camera captures assault

Kansas City police asked the public to help find the person that assaulted a Metro bus driver Monday evening.

Police said the attack happened about 9 p.m. near 31st Street and Indiana Avenue.

Surveillance video from inside the bus showed a group of people getting off the bus. Police said the driver pulled the bus over and told some passengers they needed to leave the bus because they got on and didn't pay the fare.

As they left the bus, one of them punched the driver in the side of the head. Police said the driver suffered serious injuries and was knocked unconscious.
